reproduction

When I was around six, I asked mom to tell me how babies born. She started to talk about X and Y chromosomes. Until I started to get biology courses I used to believe X and Y are beams emerging from parent's bosom when they started to sleep and I will have one X beam when I will be mother.

My brothers used to pick on me about being fat. One day, to make me feel better, my mom told me that every little girl was born with a baby in their stomachs and that I was chubby because the baby was growing.

i thought my parents orded me from a mail order catalog and they picked me up at the hospital.

I used to believe that the saying "(name) was born with a spoon in their mouth" actually was saying that someone was born with one in their mouth.

I knew about the basics of sex from a young age, but didn't know about birth control until later. When I was about nine or ten, I heard about how very religious people believed in having lots of children. I thought it was because every time they felt themselves getting horny, they took it as a calling from God that they should be trying to reproduce right that very moment.

when i asked where i came from i was told that my mum and dad had a 'special kiss' and then the stork came down with me in a blanket. what a shock i had when i started reading teen mags.

When I was about 5, maybe slightly younger, I used to think that when a baby got really tired, it could crawl back into its mother's womb through her belly button. I was a messed up kid, but I gave my mother a good laugh whenever I told her about it.

when i was about 6 or 5 years old, i had no idea about sex, but i had my own teory about making children. i used to believe that when man and woman kiss , woman is swallowing something which grows in her stoomach into a baby. that's really stupid, isn't it :)))

When i was little (of course thats how all of these start out) i thought that if pregnat woman went poop then when they pushed for the poop to come out, the baby's head would stick out. Then whenever the woman wiped she would stick the head back in!

There was a period of time in kindergarten in which both boys and girls from my class were staring at their wrists. We highly wanted to find out how much babies everyone of us would have in future.
It’s about a pad on your palm (the pad which has no fingers). You push it with a finger and let it linger there a little until some small bubble turns up underneath the skin of your wrist. The number of the bubbles is supposed to show the number of your kids in general.
Ok, but it is different about my right and left hand. Should I sum the two numbers? My left wrist sais 1 , but my right one doesn’t seem to have a determined point of view – it is something like 2… 1+2…hm…that’s intriguing…

When I asked my mom where I came from, she told me I came from her tummy. I refused to believe that. Instead, I imagined a giant hospital room filled with babies. God put them there, and that's where your parents got you.

I used to believe that in order to have a baby a boy had to pee inside a girl.

I thought babies were brought in shops and put on hangers. My mom always told me that if I was naughty she'd send me back, so I presumed I was from a shop, and she'd buy another baby, that was nice.

when people got married they waltzed around, then would pray for a baby, i don't know how long it took the prayer to be answered, but the baby would come out of the mom's belly button. lol

When I was about 2, my mom was pregnant with my sister, so I began wondering about reproduction. My conclusion was, since when a woman and a man get married they have one child, in order to have another one they had to marry again.

when i was little i thought that you had to have sex twice as hard to have twins or three times as hard for triplets!

emzzy

from about age 3 to about 8 I thought that Mom's had to eat clothing so there babies wouldnt be born naked.

I thought you had to be married to get pregnant.. as in I thought it wasn't physically possible to get pregnant unless you were married.
